Location: Little Gasparilla Island, Florida South West, Florida, USA (Barrier Island Between Tampa & Naples Off Florida's W. Coast)
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 6)
Enjoy quaint and quiet Little Gasparilla Island, a bridgeless, roadless barrier island in the Gulf of Mexico located between Sarasota and Naples. There are sandy paths and golf cart trails on the island, but there are no cars, stores, or restaurants! Gulf Street stretches from the bay to the gulf, and our house is almost midway. From the dock you’ll have a 2-3 minute walk to our stilt home with its large deck for relaxing. The beach is a short (3 min.) walk from the house in the opposite direction! There is a beach access directly at the end of the road. Enjoy nature, 7 miles of beautiful, uncrowded beaches, and a relaxing, tropical setting!
The 3 bedroom, 2 bath house has a king-sized bed and 2 twin beds upstairs, along with a bathroom, living area and kitchen.
The downstairs has a private entrance to a spacious bedroom with a king bed and private bath.
Relax in the hammock or visit on the spacious deck!
The kitchen has a toaster, microwave, coffee bean grinder, coffee maker, and blender. Coolers, beach chairs, an umbrella and toys are provided.
Leave your car at the marina, and take a 10 minute ride via the water taxi, or bring your boat and use our dock! Transportation is not necessary on Little Gasparilla Island; however golf cart rental is available through a separate party, if you don't want to explore on foot. The beach is beautiful. Great shells and sharks' teeth (the black, petrified ones) can be found. If you walk 1.75 miles south, you end up at the southernmost tip of the island. A mile north of our access is Don Pedro State Park. You can walk further north (about 4 miles) to the northern tip of the island.
Fish from the dock or the beach, and if you have a boat, you are surrounded by some of Florida's greatest fishing spots. It's not unusual to see dolphins, gopher tortoises, osprey, wading birds, manatees, and bald eagles. Enjoy gorgeous sunsets!
Bring your groceries, sunscreen,fishing gear and the books you've been meaning to read, and get ready for a unique, relaxing experience!
